As for All Long Island and All State selections, who , how ,and when is that decided ?

can you say club coaches happy to get their players back from the disaster known as high school soccer?

Oh Yeah, big disaster...the closest our kids come to playing any sport purely for the fun of it! You know, like we all grew up doing but now don't remember & don't understand our kids enjoying

Please give it a rest...trying to downgrade the value of school ball thrills because it seems like a waste of time to parents that have become sideline experts of the game & know their kids can't possibly get anything worthwhile from a dumb school team that's not charging $150/mo trainers fees while promising they hold the secret password to college scholarships!

Stop already! It's their school team, their classmates & friends, their dedication & their experience...no further explanation or rationalization needed. It's theirs & they enjoy owning it win or lose! Winning is always more fun but they can deal with whatever it brings as a group of teammates that have sacrificed for each other as well as themselves...why can't that be good enough for all of us in the stands?

They will be back on the college soccer trail soon enough & all the better for it...JASD

I was at the Ward Melville Brentwood game today, There were at least 500 fans there rooting for their teams. There were parents schoolmates and just local residents who came down to watch. When was the last time you saw that at a club game. This is what your children will remember. These are their glory days. They get to walk around school with pride and be part of a community. THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT. Club teams play a higher level with more skill but your kids will cherish these days.
